(Let Me Go, My Alpha Husband) Chapter 5
Menu
I had never seen Grant like this. For all these years he’d been controlled,
composed. I’d never thought him capable of jealousy.
I recalled my past attempts to provoke jealousy in college. I’d played

But Grant had remained unmoved, walking past me without a glance. I
realized then that such tactics wouldn’t affect him.

meeting, my relentless pursuit, my wedding announcement, my sudden change of plans–it was all public. My life revolved around Grant, making it impossible
for Jake to remain unaware.
I shook my head. A long silence made Jake uneasy. He feared I’d say yes,
choose Grant over him.
“I… I no longer crave him.” Pausing, I added, “I am bonding with you, and I
shall not regret it.”
